Tag: target audience

What’s your all-time favorite show? Mine would probably be Rick & Morty or House of Cards (I’m not one for binge-watching but have to admit I watched all 4 seasons in just 2 weeks!!! LOL). Where would these awesome shows be if it weren’t for them KNOWING their target audiences?

I think Seinfeld (another legendary show) put it best…

[NBC Exec: Why are people listening to this?] [George: Because it’s THERE..] [NBC Exec: Not yet..]

That’s right!

Until you know your audience and what they’re looking for – you’re only guessing & hoping that your products and services are going to be a hit. Wouldn’t you rather know for sure?! I know I did! When I started my second business, I didn’t have a lot of startup money so I needed to make sure I made smart decisions the first time round.

My goal was to set up a sales funnel & start bringing in profit as quickly as possible. I already had my niche chosen, but before I could begin crafting my product, I needed to find out more about my audience so I could learn their biggest pain points and what they need & want most.

Before we dive into the 9 pillars of your target audience, I just want to mention the 4 main types of traffic & audiences you’ll run into.

HOT – Product Aware: They’re aware of solutions and are typically in the ‘comparing’ stage of the buying process

WARM – Solution Aware: They aware of some solutions

COLD – Problem Aware: They Know they’ve got a problem

COLD – Unaware they have a problem (hardest to sell)

TIP: Keep in mind that at every stage of your business you’ll be dealing with these 4 types of readers. Since each type has different pain points, it’s best to create emails and segment your list for each type.

The answers to these 9 questions will help you craft better content & products that your audience won’t be able to resist gobbling up!

What are your audience Demographics:

Geolocation – where do these people live?

***A quick note about demographics – although important – they are not nearly as important as knowing if your audience is product aware, solution aware, problem aware or completely unaware.
